#2 Crushed Stone in West Virginia

Catch the hillside seep above a hollow driveway and carry it across at the planned pipe or ditch before building up the travel area. #2 Crushed Stone works around culvert approaches and along ditch sections where water needs an open stone bed. Its angular pieces stay coarse after placement, with no fine material left from washing to fill the gaps.

This material is suited to rough support work under traffic, including lease roads and equipment pad areas. On West Virginia slopes, drainage needs attention above the drive as well as beneath it, since runoff and springs can come out of the hillside after rain. Use a separate driving aggregate over #2 Crushed Stone where the exposed roadway needs a more closed, even surface.

Site Entrances

Place a deep bed of angular rock at the point where trucks leave the site for the road, helping shed tire mud before it gets onto the pavement.

Culvert & Ditch Lining

Where hillside runoff gathers, substantial stone helps protect culvert outlets and drainage ditches from moving water.

Heavy Base Layers

For hollow driveways on grade, lease roads, and weak ground, use this as the lower layer before covering it with smaller aggregate.

Water Movement

The broad voids between the rocks allow heavy water flow to pass through the layer and clear the site.

Holds Its Place

Heavy, oversized rock is less likely to rut or be pushed aside by vehicle traffic.

Freer Drainage

Because it contains no fines, washed stone has open spaces that allow water to drain through.

Bridges Soft Ground

Angular, oversized rock helps distribute traffic weight across damp or unstable ground below.

Limited Upkeep

After it is installed, maintenance is generally limited to periodic replenishment.
